Background: Virtual care technology including artificial intelligence (AI) may augment nursing functions creating flexibility in staffing that reduces workforce shortages and enhances patient safety. Local problem: A health system experienced safety concerns. Methods: Quality improvement methodology was used to evaluate the impact of implementing virtual with AI. Interventions: observation (VPO) AI nurse (VN) were implemented. Nursing assistants served as observers, while registered nurses...
Purpose This research explores the impact of mobile health (mHealth) technology and nurse coaching on views diabetes self-management (DSM) for persons living with diabetes. Methods Three focus groups (N = 24) were conducted individuals type 2 who participated in a mHealth intervention study. Qualitative thematic analysis was used to identify overarching themes each group. Results Major identified following participation included enhanced perspectives about diabetes, increased awareness how...
Despite numerous health advantages wearable trackers could offer, tracker users often abandon their devices after a short period of time. One reason for abandonment is users' lack identification as an accurate reflection who and what they are (i.e., sense identity). In this study, we examine the role cosmetic customization modification given product's presentation) in increasing one's identity. Furthermore, explore if identity can explain relationship between user engagement (assessed by...
Background: Coping strategies are predictive of 1 week CPAP use. may predict longer-term use among adults with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Objectives: To investigate the influence two coping styles (active and passive) individual processes on at month; explore association between self-efficacy Participants: CPAP-naïve (52.3% male, 90.9% White) newly diagnosed OSA (AHI ≥ 5 events/hr) from U.S. clinical centers (n = 66). Methods: A post-hoc analysis a prospective, longitudinal study that...
OBJECTIVES:The number of deaths from vascular diseases is incredibly high worldwide, and reliable markers for major events are still needed.The current cross-sectional study investigated the association Klotho haplotypes serum levels with classic risk factors a clinical history events.METHODS: Clinical, anthropometric, biochemical nutritional assessments were conducted 168 older adults, complemented by genotyping (rs9536314 rs9527025) detection (ELISA).RESULTS: did not associate most events,...
Primary care nurse practitioners (NPs) receive little sleep education in graduate programs but are often first-line providers for patients presenting with sleep-related symptoms. A pre-/postevaluation study was conducted using asynchronous, case-based modules a cohort of primary NP students enrolled single academic institution's nursing master's degree program.Six virtual, addressed adult health and disorders, prioritized based on prevalence presentation. Kirkpatrick Training Evaluation...

Abstract Introduction The Tele-OSA randomized trial demonstrated improved PAP adherence in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients receiving a telemonitoring intervention (automated messages triggered by low usage [U-Sleep, ResMed]). We conducted sub-group analysis to explore the effect of Black and Hispanic adults (B/H) compared all other races/ethnicities. Methods (Kaiser Permanente; Fontana, CA) enrolled 556 with OSA [AHI≥5] newly initiated on (AirSense 10, AutoCPAP) Telemonitoring (TM) or...
Abstract Introduction Developing strategies to enhance Positive Airway Pressure (PAP) adherence is crucial for improving outcomes in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). We introduce a novel Triage Tool (TT) questionnaire designed identify specific usage challenges facilitate targeted interventions. Methods Moderate-severe OSA (AHI≥15) newly-initiated on PAP therapy (AutoCPAP, ResMed) were enrolled (Kaiser Permanente, Fontana, CA). A digital platform (Somnoware, Inc.) emailed link...
Discovering factors that hinder the use of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) potentially leads to intervention opportunities. Coping strategies have been previously identified as predictive short-term (1-week) CPAP only. may predict longer-term among adults newly-diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Study aim: To investigate influence two coping styles (active, passive) and individual processes on at 1-week 1-month. A post-hoc analysis data from a prospective, longitudinal...
Abstract Introduction Primary care nurse practitioners (NPs) receive little to no sleep education in graduate programs despite being first-line providers for patients presenting with sleep-related symptoms. Sleep curriculum has been consistently identified as a gap nursing and confirmed recent survey studies of nurses NPs. Methods Qualitative descriptive study explore NP students’ reactions an asynchronous, case-based e-learning program. Data were collected part larger pre-/post-study...
Youth and young adults continue to experience high rates of HIV are also frequent users social media. Social media platforms such as Twitter can bolster efforts promote prevention for these individuals, while HIV-related messages exist on Twitter, little is known about the impact or reach this population.This study aims address gap in literature by identifying user message characteristics that associated with tweet endorsement (favorited) engagement (retweeted) among youth men (aged 13-24...
Abstract Introduction Chronic noncancer pain (CP) commonly co-occurs with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and may contribute to greater symptom burden. The study aim was examine differences in sleepiness (Epworth Sleepiness Scale, ESS), insomnia symptoms (Insomnia Severity Index [ISI]), quality of life (Short Form Health Survey 20, SF-20) veterans OSA or without pre-existing CP. Methods An observational, cross-sectional, newly diagnosed, untreated conducted. Unadjusted between-group...
Abstract Introduction Black or African American and Hispanic of any race (B/H) adults are disproportionately affected by obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Positive Airway Pressure (PAP) treatment may reduce disparities, but short-term PAP outcomes worse among under-represented minority (URM) compared to other, mainly White, adults. No studies have examined if adherence disparities persist/worsen long-term. We evaluated in usage between B/H other race/ethnicities. Methods defined a clinical...
Abstract Introduction Evidence suggests that chronic noncancer pain (CP) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are highly prevalent in the adult civilian population. As military veterans disproportionally affected by both CP OSA, greater understanding of frequency characteristics most commonly affect with OSA is needed. Thus, this study characterized among terms frequency, location, duration, severity, interference on daily activities, etiology (neuropathic versus not). Methods A descriptive,...
Abstract AIM The aim of this study was to explore nurse practitioner (NP) students’ perceptions a sleep e-learning program. BACKGROUND Sleep assessment is uncommon as nursing curricula lack education. By preparing NPs conduct and screening understand basic diagnostics, health more likely be part the differential diagnosis. METHOD qualitative descriptive utilizing two focus groups. A directed content analysis, guided by Kirkpatrick model, used for analysis. RESULTS Twenty-four students...
Abstract Introduction Positive airway pressure (PAP) adherence definitions are independent of total sleep time (TST). When PAP efficacy is examined by biophysiologic outcomes in adults with obstructive apnea (OSA), sensitivity and specificity the measurement adherence/non-adherence important. Methods A post-hoc analysis experimental data: 1) investigated agreement among concurrently-measured objective use, subjective TST; 2) assessed untreated TST adherers non-adherers defined CMS criterion...
Abstract Introduction Inadequate health literacy (HL) is associated with 1.5 - 3 times increased risk for poor outcomes, nonadherence and lack of skills needed to manage one’s own health. HL prevalence in adults obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) may be as high 30%. The relationship between positive airway pressure (PAP) adherence has been rarely examined. Methods A secondary analysis prospective observational data was conducted to: 1) examine the inadequate newly-diagnosed OSA 2) determine if...
